In the last decade a set of experimental results challenged the 3 framework  no one conclusive, but all pointing toward the same direction Experimental motivations 2 LSND MiniBooNE and -bar Reactor -bar anomaly Cosmology Gallium MCi exposure

A coupled system of LAr detector + muon spectrometer for –Observation of all reaction channels ( , e ; CC, NC) through the unique LAr-TPC imaging capabilities –Charge separation and muon momentum extension with a magnetized iron spectrometer –Different sites near (300 m) + far (1600 m) A conclusive experiment 3

Where: CERN North Area 4  100 GeV primary beam fast extracted from SPS  Target station next to TCC2  Decay pipe: L =100 m, ø = 3 m  Beam dump: 15 m of Fe with graphite core, followed by μ stations  Neutrino beam angle: pointing upwards, at -3m in the far detector, ~5 mrad slope

NESSiE (Neutrino Experiment with SpectrometerS in Europe) lGoal:  Allow charge separation and momentum measurement of as many muons as possible escaping from LAr (large statistics ↔ low sin 2 2  )  Go as low as possible in muon momentum (low momenta ↔ low  m 2 )  Possibility to also study (NESSiE) internal events (coarser resolution w.r.t. LAr) lSolution:  Air-core magnets for low momentum muons escaping from LAr (E  < 0.5 GeV/c in NESSiE ↔  E  < 1 GeV in LAr)  Downstream massive iron dipolar magnets for higher momenta extension NESSiE detector concept 8 m2m2 sin 2 2  Statistics Spectru n
